And, in addition, tie an inside bowline so the tail is inside of the loop. If I happen to make the tail too long, I then put it into the clew ring so it is not loose.

In other words the port side bowline should have the flat side facing the starboard side and vice versa. This reduces the chance of hanging up on a shroud. Jerry. C&C 27 V J&J. Sent from my iPhone
